Silicon Valley: laugh-out-loud funny

[Auggie]

Season 2 has already ended on HBO so I'm catching up via Comcast OnDemand. I'm not one to literally "laugh out loud" but Silicon Valley, along with VEEP and now The Brink, really do it for me. Kudos to HBO. They don't always hit home runs, but when they do, the bases are full.

1. The Brink! And I thought Veep was the nuts...

And don't forget Happyish on Showtime.

Personally, I don't get off on Silicon Valley, but that's just me, not the show.

2. Can't watch Happyish ...

I worked in advertising and was twice laid off, once so younger people who earned less could stay. I haven't seen one show -- the synopsis was enough to keep me away.

3. I watched the first few episodes...

...had some funny moments but far too much angst for me to deal with voluntarily...

4. I understand. I imagine you would hate...

the Scandinavian hipsters far more than I do, and they would ruin your day with bad memories.

It uses the ad agency as protagonist for a very dark and cynical view of life.

5. I have regular nightmares about working in ad agencies ...

despite having not stepped in one for almost 20 years!

Big reason I couldn't watch Madmen either.

6. Silcon Valley is hilarious, and it's made by Mike Judge who made Idiocracy and Office Space and

King of the Hill....too amusing. The actors are all flawless. Great show.
